Public ArcGIS MapServer endpoint for Broward County parcel data. URL, supported fields, and a working sample query, copy it, or open it directly in the UrbanKit parcel lookup tool.
This page is the endpoint reference. If you came here to find a specific property, the Broward County parcel search runs this same layer in your browser, no account and no API key.

We only call a field restricted when there is a stated reason we can cite. Everything else here is a fact about the services we index, not a claim about the law.

Broward County Property Appraiser public REST endpoint. The current public layer exposes FOLIO (13-digit parcel ID) only. Owner, site-address, mailing, valuation, and sale fields were removed from public REST in the 2026-06-06 migration (see below). The FL statewide FDOR cadastral (services9.arcgis.com) is a partitioned FeatureServer that routes to individual county subsets. The CO_NO field in that dataset uses FDOR-internal county numbers (not FIPS) and queries outside the locally-routed partition return empty. County-specific endpoints are more reliable for Broward. MIGRATED 2026-06-06: gis.bcpa.net DNS was retired -- the public service moved to gisweb-adapters.bcpa.net (BCPA_EXTERNAL_JAN26/MapServer/16, 556,435 parcels). DEGRADED: the new public layer exposes FOLIO only; the county removed owner, site-address, and mailing fields from public REST. FOLIO lookup only -- owner-name search is no longer possible on this endpoint.

Broward County's Parcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Folio Number (Parcel ID)). Use it for PIN-keyed record pulls (owner-name search lives on a separate assessor system). The single listed field accepts queries. Served as an ArcGIS MapServer layer, which supports query operations but not write operations; last verified 2026-06-06.
/query?where=…&outFields=*&f=jsonto the URL. The sample query above is a working example you can paste into a browser tab to see the raw JSON response.Counties publish parcel data through their own ArcGIS Server installations, each with its own schema. One county uses APN, another uses PIN, a third uses PARCEL_ID. Some expose owner names; others keep them on a separate assessor's portal. The searchable fields list above reflects what Broward County actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

gisweb-adapters.bcpa.net serves Broward County, Florida parcels over public ArcGIS REST, but, like most county servers, it may not send the CORS headers a browser needs for a cross-origin fetch. If a direct browser call fails, the layer still works from curl, Postman, or a server-side script; the UrbanKit parcel lookup tool proxies the request, so a search that succeeds there confirms the layer is genuinely public.
We last verified Broward County's MapServer layer on 2026-06-06. County GIS teams move services without notice, so if you hit a fresh 404, tell us and we'll re-check. Atlas entries are re-verified on a rolling basis.
Broward County's layer is hosted by the county on gisweb-adapters.bcpa.net. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but gisweb-adapters.bcpa.net can throttle heavy automated traffic at the host level. Page through results with resultOffset / resultRecordCount and request only the fields you need. There's no API key and no charge from the county.
